Modern Day Letter A
Monday, December 03, 2012
16-year-old Temitayo Fagbenle is troubled by the fact that her Facebook newsfeed is inundated with sexually explicit photos and videos of other teenage girls that are posted, commented on, and shared countless times by her peers. Teenagers targeting and shaming each other isnt new but in the past the messages written on bathroom stalls only scarred a girls reputation during high school. Kids today are rightly taught that what goes on the internet stays on the internet and can pop up at any time. Temitayo brings listeners inside the cyber world of teenagers to explore how using the internet as a tool to ruin a reputation has repercussions far beyond the schoolyard.
